Yep, if the curve and change are as good as he showed today all he has to do is command a 92 MPH fastball and he'll be good. The change was just so damn good, I now love him.
Kinda has the Chris Young thing going where his size makes his high fastball deadlier than it should be

Crazy thing is looks like we might not have room for Dunning in the rotation with Kopech ready and Hansen following close behind
One of the more overlooked aspects of the rebuild is having enough depth to trade highly-ranked prospects for above average major leaguers.

That was dominant and probably his most impressive outing in the org. Command and movement all over the damn place, if his velocity was what it used to be I don't even know what his ceiling would be.
Wait until he start using the backdoor curve to lefties like Gavin perfected
QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 09:08 PM)
That Souza AB, holy god. Change, FB, curve, all working. Giolito's change has impressed me the most today, can be elite.
He's getting a lot of swings and misses today. Really impressive

Probably because they weren't particularly interesting in the first place.
Pretty sure I know more about Hawk's Boston teammates than I do the 83 WSox

It's so interesting to watch someone on the ML level that you know isn't complete, and is working on things as you watch.
You're referring to Benetti, right
QUOTE (Quin @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 06:55 PM)
Which do you take if it reaches its max potential
Rodon's slider
Kopech's fastball
Giolito's curve
Rodon's slider

Agreed. There's an intelligence to the way he pitches that's refreshing to see.
Thing is, his curve has room to get so much better.

Fernando Tatis Jr went 4/5 last night. He's in AA as an 18 year old, in case you forgot.
A year from now, seems likely he's a top 3 prospect in baseball. What a monster and there are now reports he has a solid chance of sticking at SS
QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Sep 2, 2017 -> 03:23 AM)
f*** the Astros and the Tigers. I hope Verlander breaks down, I hope all the prospects they wouldn't trade for Q bust, and I hope all the prospects they sent to Detroit bust.
I'm over it as Eloy is better than Tucker

Ugly offensive night for the farm. Only 11 hits and 1 run across the five games outside of the AZL game.
Jimenez out and Robert being finished illustrates lack of offensive depth.

Are headfirst slides into first base part of the Sox' organizational philosophy? We seem to do quite a bit of it.
And he's hurt
